Whilst we were away during the Winter just gone ( July/August/September)
we visited Winton in Queensland
Looking around the web before we left home I found this picture
of a pool with some pelican statues that was built about 1995
at one end of Main Street in Winton
Info at this site
National Library of Australia
Guess what it looks like now
click on the pictures for enlarged views
They aren’t the best of shots – bit dark
For some reason – time of day and shadows –
Couldn’t get a nice angle
Traffic going by
– even tho it looks deserted there were loads of cars around –
Did get a good meal at the Pub tho’
Winton was previously known as Pelican Waterhole

They seemed to have done some landscaping since the first picture.

Very interesting contrasts. Looks like a fun "frontier" type of town…
